Baby Fever...

It's kinda fun to look back to see how this pregnancy has been similar (and different) than the one with Lucy.  Tristan's pregnancy was so easy and I felt so good the entire time, (except for the labor part) that I just chalk that up to the best pregnancy ever.  With Lucy I'm starting to see a lot of similarities... which is why I'm leaning more towards it being a girl.

Lucy's heart rate during my first appointment was 175, and this one's 170.  We couldn't find a heart rate for Tristan at first, so I'm not sure about that.  And right now, I don't feel very pregnant.  Other than my belly is starting to show and my belly button popped already (yes, I know, ridiculous) I feel great.  I'm excited because next appointment we get to find out what it is, and usually before that I can start feeling the baby kick!  Whoo!

I mean, really, can this get any cuter?  They love each other so much they couldn't stand the idea of not sitting next to each other in the cart.  Goobs.

Now... here's the ridiculous part.  I think because I feel so good and I have really been loving watching Tristan and Lucy interact and really want to play with each other, the more I think I want to have a boat load of kids.  I know I know, just ask me how I feel about birthing more children when I'm huge, waddling (because there's no way I can walk anymore) and am so uncomfortable the thought of sleep is out of the question, but for right now I'm loving the idea.

I guess you could always argue that we CAN have more children, and I don't have to birth them, so we are back to the adoption plan.  :)  I think that's probably the way it's gonna end up.  I had this feeling that I was ready to have more kids when I was still pregnant with Tristan, but not so much Lucy.  So, I guess we will see!  I have a feeling that the Dr's are going to tell me that it's probably not safe/good idea to have more kids because one's body can only take so many c-sections... Looking forward to seeing what the future holds :)
